Suggest Remedies To Quit Smoking And Alcohol Consumption
Hello First time at this website. I am feeling quite awful … have been for a few days. I recently had a significant exposure to the sun and am consuming beer and nicotine. I feel sick and hot and extremely uncomfortable. I would like some advice on how to quit smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and how to feel better as soon as possible. This kind of feels like a sun burn as well ...

wow...hate to say how important your first step is!
(. acknowledging the need to quit and possibly also the feeling sick!)
next.....nicotine replacement doubles your likelihood of quitting.
this includes both nicotine cigs and nicotine blocking (.chantix )
third is establishing a supportive milieu.
get cigs, lighters, ashtrays, and all enabling stuff out of the house.
tell everyone that you are quitting on or right before the quit date
this includes family friends and church
then,....every time you see a trigger and do not smoke,PUT up a reminder onto the spot this includes a gold star or masking tape or a sticky note these are a positive reward sign of being successful at not smoking
